Game 5 in a Bo5. Naked throne on both sides and two rapiers. Definitely one of the highlights of this amazing series.

Invictus Gaming

vs

Evil Geniuses

If there ever was a "perfect game" for a team in Dota 2 this is probably it.

One of the best 3rd party tournaments of Dota 2 IG is up against EG. It's a short but brilliant game where everything goes right for one of the teams. No errors made, no chances missed. It's the perfect game.

Short, entertaining, a record of teamwork in perfection.

Team DK

vs

Orange Esports

The finale of an outstanding series, with a risky and unorthodox Ursa + Magnus combination from Orange. DK is always on the lookout for a sneaky Rosh by Orange and meanwhile try to hold on to get their Phantom Lancer and Alchemist the farm they need to win the game. A game of ridiculous high energy teamfights.

Evil Geniuses

vs

Alliance

How times have changed...

Alliance meets EG and has to watch out to not get ratted. It's a pretty even game for most of the time (except the beginning shortly), but still very amusing with interesting heroes, plays and turns. Good watch overall.You really want to watch it for the ending though, which is absolutely ridiculous. Ding, ding, ding, motherf*ckers!

Team Empire

vs

Team Secret

Not a single rax falls until over 60 minutes in the game. 5-Man Black Hole. Rubick has the time of his life - stealing spells left an right. Still, the game stays close pretty much the whole time. All-around great match.

Darer and mousesports go against each other in an incredibly bloody match leading to an average of one kill every 15 seconds. Both teams are super aggressive and determined to win, disregarding any losses. The result is a tightly packed game with countless, highly entertaining team fights. If you like Rambo this match is pretty much the Dota 2 equivalent.

Team Secret

The legend of the BurNIng Anti-Mage continues.

Team Secret is up against Invictus Gaming in their first game of the lower bracket. Team Secret seems at quite an advantage from the beginning onwards, leaving only spare space to farm for IG's struggling core heroes. Will Secret secure their well-deserved victory or can Invictus make a come back?

Evil Geniuses

vs

SG e-sports

The Kiev Major was wonderful for the matches but what stood out the most is definitely the success of SG e-sports, the first South American team that fought their way into a major competition. This is their deciding third game against a sweating Evil Geniuses.

Up until this tournament most pro teams were were formed in North America, Europe and South East Asia, with South America albeit high player numbers being considered sub-par to the established elite. SG e-sports managed to turn this sentiment around with their incredible performance. Beating, against all odds, another major pro team in the previous round and showing the resilience, teamwork and dedication of world class. The most exciting and disputed match of the Kiev Major and one of the best matches of 2017, with incredible plays from both teams. A match that will stay forever in our hearts.

LGD Gaming

vs

Team DK

Burning vs Sylar at its best - PL vs AM. Truly deserving of the epic tag.

A good indication of an overpowered hero is when he receives a special nickname by the community (mostly used by those on the receiving end of the pain). This game was played during a time where Phantom Lancer was mostly referred to as "Cancer Lancer", since his split-push potential was fantastic and he was quite hard to control. DK try to utilize this newly buffed hero and LGD counter with their own Anti Mage pick for Burning who's famous for wrecking havoc with AM. Cue an amazing game with the constant question: Whose carry is going to be the last one standing?
